Abstract
Hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm is an uncommon and a late complication after a blunt hepatic trauma. Although hepatic artery pseudoaneurysms may stay silent, it is usually better to treat them due to the high hemorrhage risk they cause. We are presenting a patient with post traumatic hepatic laceration who had serious bleeding with late onset after percutaneous drainage of the old hematoma. On a multidetector computerised tomography (MDCT) scan, a large hematoma surrounding a pseudoaneurysm was diagnosed which was treated with endovascular cyanoacrylate (glue) embolisation.

Endovascular embolisation of a hepatic pseudoaneurysm causing massive hemorrhage after a blunt hepatic trauma
Abstract
Hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm is an uncommon and a late
complication after a blunt hepatic trauma. Although hepatic artery
pseudoaneurysms may stay silent, it is usually better to treat them
due to the high hemorrhage risk they cause. We are presenting a
patient with post traumatic hepatic laceration who had serious
bleeding with late onset after percutaneous drainage of the old
hematoma. On a multidetector computerised tomography (MDCT)
scan, a large hematoma surrounding a pseudoaneurysm was
diagnosed which was treated with endovascular cyanoacrylate
(glue) embolisation.
